I have to stop at the odd red light and I use Endomundo but the pause function is pretty hit and miss. _________________________ 2020 Taycan Turbo

Chris - that mileage is damn impressive. I sense a solid performance at HB. Oh and almost forgot... New distance record; 21 miles in 3:41:50. Yes, all on the treadmill.

Just today I hit 1250 miles on the year. After last year doing 385, so I'm proud of that. My goal was 1000. I got my run tomorrow yet to finish the year, probably around 1255. $\:\)$

Lividentity Lividentity Major Member Registered: 07/14/04 Posts: 1302 Loc: Gehenna	Heck you can hit 2600 just by doing a 100miler every other weekend. You can fill out the other 400 easy enough. On a serious note, I want to start biking and swimming next year so my run total will probably drop as well. Which is fine, more worried about overall fitness than just running. $\:\)$

You can fill out the other 400 easy enough. http://www.irunfar.com/2013/01/werunfar-liz-bauer-and-scott-brockmeier.html You joke, but this 53 year old woman ran 36 100-mile races in the 2012 calendar year. Her husband/partner ran 27. 3,600 miles. Spread across 36 races. I see a couple sections where she ran one a weekend for three consecutive weekends! Months before I had any idea who she was I ran into her at Leadville. I politely said "on your left" as I was passing her on the single track around Turquoise Lake and she said "yeah yeah, go ahead and pass me but I'll be passing you again on the road section!!" and not in a particularly fun and friendly way. I heard other people grumbling about what a jerk she was out there too, but I guess if that's your 22nd 100 miler of the year you get a free pass to be a bit touchy _________________________

Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	I ran 11 tonight at 6:49 pace and felt fantastic! I'm just hoping I can feel that good on February 2nd! That puts me at 263 miles for the month. I'm planning on at least another 10 tomorrow, so I'll be finishing out the year with a huge month for me! If I don't puss out on signing up for Leadville in 2 days, I could very well hit 3k miles next year with all the training I'll be doing. _________________________

Do you guys have scales and track your weight? My brother got a scale for christmas that syncs with an app over Wifi and it looks sweet. Part of me thinks a wifi enabled bathroom scale is utterly ridiculous...but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of stepping on a scale twice a day and having all the data automatically uploaded and compiled for me. I don't care enough to track it in excel but it'd be fun to know. I've got a good 12-14 pounds to lose over the next 6 months - I'm not too worried but a scale would help keep me accountable. _________________________

I need to get back on it though. Hoping to drop 5 or so pounds in January so I'm a bit lighter come race day on the 2nd. _________________________

2000SiRacer 2000SiRacer Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 42801 Loc: Colorado	Just ordered a wifi scale so I can track this stuff. I have about ~13 pounds to lose by August and then hope to maintain that weight through November. And BIG NEWS, my little brother (the dreadlocked one) who used to smoke cigarettes and pound energy drinks has gotten involved in meditation, healthy eating and increasingly endurance sports over the past year or so. He's ridden a couple 100 milers on my mom's old bike (including a 130 mile solo effort) and just yesterday signed up for the TNF DC 50 miler in June. His longest run to date has been 21 miles but I think he'll be fine. It's amazing to see how far he's come over the past 3-5 years. Good stuff bro _________________________

I'm having a much easier time watching the diet this time around. I'm happy at 185-186, and I'm 188 now. _________________________ ___________________________________ gamby still have an EM1--go figure

I'm convinced my success will come down to mostly pure luck. $\:D$ last nights run was a big confidence booster though. Being able to run that quick, without that much effort, with this many many miles on my legs tells me my body wants to do it. I just need to get to that start line well rested, and mentally sharp so I don't make any mistakes. _________________________

I ran over a bridge and back for 3 laps, so 6 times over it. I didn't feel like I was going fast but my miles were right around 8:30. I was like ok well doing hills at that pace kicks ass!

Right at this moment I don't have $300 to spend on it regardless. But if registration stays open for a week and I get paid I'd be able to afford it. Guess I'll have to see if you guys (and myself) can talk me into it. :P

They say the cap was "several hundred fewer slots" than last year so it should be a great event and not the total mess it was last year. It's still wild that it sold out in 20 hours. In my cough extensive history of registering for this darn race I've signed up as much as 6 weeks after it opens. Wild stuff! _________________________

Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	The quest for speed continues. Today I watched a video that Sage Canaday did on his tips for training for a sub 3 hour road marathon, and one of the 3 suggestions was doing 2 mile repeats. God damn they are hard, but I can see how they are really good for getting you mentally fit to keep moving fast when you get tired. Heres what my run looked like: _________________________

Design Design Post Master Supreme Registered: 12/11/02 Posts: 11459 Loc: The OC	I'm finding the REAL kicker to be cramping. And from all the reading it appears I'm depleting glycogen too quickly. In my quest to do 21 last week, I started cramping pretty bad around mile 20. Pretty sure my fuel and hydration are good. So I think I'm going to slow down just a tad and see if length/performance improves. Chris - wondering if you're encountering similar issues on your longer runs, at or near your race pace? _________________________ 09 CWP MS3 01 Echo 5MT 00 EBP Si - Sold - Pics 89 Camaro - Sold CSI.

I personally use the Salt Stick brand which you can get at REI. I don't cramp very often, but if I do, as soon as I can get some salt in me, they're gone within a few minutes. _________________________

You could also try using Hammer Heed as your sports drink. I rode a rather warm century this summer using that as my sports drink and no cramping at all--compared to prior long distance rides where cramping became a minor/major issue. _________________________ ___________________________________ gamby still have an EM1--go figure

If they don't have an improvement next week I'll try changing things up again. I usually go through 32 oz of G2 but sodium is only around 400 mg. 13 miler starts in about an hour. _________________________ 09 CWP MS3 01 Echo 5MT 00 EBP Si - Sold - Pics 89 Camaro - Sold CSI.

Lividentity Lividentity Major Member Registered: 07/14/04 Posts: 1302 Loc: Gehenna	Quick running this morning! My previous fastest mile was 7:25 for a 1 mile run. (At least while using my Garmin, I ran a sub 7 minute mile for a fitness test, but didn't have my Garmin on me to verify the time/distance, so not counting it) This morning had to do a 3 mile run, so went out kinda hard, hoping to be in the 8-8:30 pace, which is my harder run pace. First mile ticks at 7:22! I was like holy cow that's my fastest mile! So I just wanted to try to keep up, then mile 2 ticks by at 7:11! I was like how am I going faster?! It was 50 degrees out, which is nice, but just enough to make my lungs burn some from the hard breathing, and my legs are starting to get sore/fatigued from running hard. But I push through for the third mile to tick by at 7:12! So it was under 22 minutes for 3 miles. My fastest 5k is 27:43 (like 1.5 years ago) and I was on pace to beat that by 5 and a half minutes! Basically run in the morning and it made my whole day better. =]
